Optical manipulation of single flux quanta

Manipulation of individual superconducting vortices remains challenging and has been demonstrated only in a sophisticated way. Here, Veshchunov et al.realize a fast and precise manipulation of individual vortices using a far-field optical method, providing a simple way towards optical control of Jos...
